New in : The sandals dreams are made of

Sandals : Zara (sale!)

Bit of a quick one today, buuut as I have started spending a bit of money on new clothes again, my blog will probably benefit a little from these purchases...

So as some as you may already know, Zara is on top form this season, and these sandals just further that statement - priced at a whopping £4.99. I literally can't get enough of them! The khaki neoprene-y straps, the Dr Marten esque sole. What more could you want in a sandal? I think these could be a top contender in overtaking my Birks in wearability for my next holiday, next week!

What I Wore :

Shirt : GAP

Jumper : Zara

Jeans & Boots : ASOS

The only white wall in my entire house has shite lighting. And as the world's most uncomfortable photo subject this leads to major stopping at my boyfriend. My bad.

I'm currently in the midst of writing my 10,000 word case study for uni, so I'm spending most of my time ignoring it and dressing up and going out for meals. Also my bad.

Top 5 :

There is nothing I hate more than a sale. I always subconsciously find myself adding item after item to in my online shopping basket before I give myself a bit of a talking to. Do I really want this? Would I pay full price for it? The answer is usually no. Why not save the money to put towards something I really want?

Don't get me wrong, there's no better feeling then finding out the item you've been drooling over for the last two months has 50% off, and there's always one store's sale I do check religiously. If you've not already guessed, that store is Zara. I even braved real-life shopping to see what was left in store!

So that being said, this week's top 5 is a mixture of seriously beautiful new collection and a few old favourites that I'm tempted to splurge on now they're on sale...

Hand Embroidered Velvet Dress : I don't even think this needs a description. Just look at it.

Velvet Blazer : For some reason everything I want right now is either velvet or leather. Not sure how that would look as a daily ensemble. This whole three piece of blazer, cami and trousers are everything I need right now.

Black Ribbed Sweater : Take a good look at that hemline and tell me you don't want to wear that everyday...

Leather Jacket : I can't even choose a favourite out of these five items. Wait, yes I can. This. It's the perfect leather.

Bronze Boots : Another sale item I've had my eye on for a while! Just waiting for the price to drop a little futher... They'd make a nice change from the seventeen pairs of black boots I already own.

Neutral

Currently obsessing over wearing one colour head to toe, crisp silk, cashmere tailoring and loose fitting everything. These neutral colour palettes are making me weep.

Wednesday Wishlist

UNIF Concho Hat

I've wanted a big felt hat for ages, but they're all the same really aren't they? But this one is just enough Western for me, with the mega cool cowboy type badges adorned to the edges. Need.

Motel Turtle Neck Dress

The 90's isn't going anywhere.

Zara Knit Flares

Because I think you should always try and dare yourself to wear something out of the ordinary. I've been crying over how much I love flares and how short my legs are (baaad combination) but I might just have to purchase these from Zara as a test. 

ASOS Crop

I might have several (hundred) black tees, but this one has kimono sleeves and a high neck. And a zip on the back. So...

Monki Bralet

Again, no reason, just because.

Weekday Striped Shirt

You can never have too many stripey shirts, and I love the Oxford style simplicity of this one.

Timex Wristwatch

I've never had a good watch, so this changeable strap one by Timex looks perfect!

Motel Silver Mini Dress

So shiny. I'd wear this with the following shoes and cry with happiness I think... 

UNIF '94 Heels

Errr, hello, because who doesn't want to wear these shoes all day every day? They're going to make every outfit, even jeans and a black tee look mega.

Croatia Style File #4

Another day at the beach, another beachy outfit. I'm obsessed with crochet at the moment and had been searching everywhere for something white and pretty, when I remembered that I'd picked up this Zara number in the sale a couple of years ago! I love finding things in my wardrobe that have been forgotten about, and restyling them with a fresh mind. 

I think it's my summer staple, and I can't wait to wear it out for drinks with big gold hoops and a black slip dress underneath!
